When we were considering which fragrances to carry at ULAH, we knew we wanted something special and unique — something that can’t be found everywhere. We discovered two lines that are not only hard to find, but are also masculine, sophisticated, and come from the highest quality materials.

ULAH carries Parfums de Marly (left) and Atelier Cologne (right).

Parfums de Marly: Staying true to its regal roots, Parfums de Marly delivers complex and sophisticated fragrances. Their fragrances bear the names of the breeds of horses that they have been inspired from, while paying homage to the aromatic courts of King Louis XV in 18th century France. Of their extensive line, ULAH carries Herod, Pegasus, Godolphin, Galloway, Byerley, Layton, and Oajan. To learn more about Parfums de Marly, visit their site by clicking here.

Atelier Cologne: This is the first of a new kind of pure perfume fragrance called Cologne Absolue. Atelier Cologne blended citruses with the most precious natural raw materials. The result is a line of perfectly balanced creations that have exceptionally long lasting power. Each Cologne Absolue expresses a story of powerful memories and treasured emotions. ULAH currently carries Cédrat Enivrant, Vétiver Fatal, Gold Leather, Santal Carmin, Poivre Electrique, Tobacco Nuit. To learn more about Atelier Cologne, visit their site by clicking here.

If you have one of those of guys to shop for who has everything, consider Filson bags, wallets, or watches. Filson is a legacy brand that has been making top quality leather, wool, and canvas goods since 1897. In fact, they still keep their manufacturing here at home in the United States, and have been creating rugged products with real brass hardware in Seattle since their conception. One of our personal favorites is the 24 Hour Tin Briefcase, which I carry to ULAH every day — packed with my gym shoes and clothes, laptop, and notepads. Stop by ULAH in Woodside Village and see which of the Filson products fits your man’s needs.

Many people may be surprised at the popularity of candles among men. More and more men are buying candles with masculine scents. Early in our development, we wanted to make our own line of masculine candles — so we partnered with local duo Wood + Wick to help create our first evolving line of candles. We named it the Boyhood Collection, inspired by memories that ULAH co-owner Buck Wimberly had as a child. He felt that others would resonate with the memories and scents.

“In my early years, I grew up in the plains of rural West Texas. I remember the baseball games, the classic small-town barbershop experiences, and being fascinated with tumbleweeds. As I grew into my teens while living in the Kansas City area, some of my favorite memories were camping and going on float trips with friends.” – Buck Wimberly

You can find these candles — and many other great holiday gifts for men — in KC’s new men’s apparel and lifestyle store, ULAH, owned by Buck Wimberly and Joey Mendez.

OUTFIELDER – Whether you practiced out in the field, or sat on the bench to watch your friends play — our combination of fresh cut grass and worn leather will stir up memories of America’s most nostalgic sport.

BARBERSHOP – Leather, cardamom, vanilla, and plum will remind you of sitting in the barber’s chair smelling the scent of tonics and pomades as you were getting a fresh clean cut.

TUMBLEWEED – Notes of sandalwood and grass make this scent reminiscent of the dry westerly winds that often blow tumbleweeds across the plains of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

PUP TENT – Pine, clove, and wood smoke notes will take you back to those memorable trips with friends and family — gathering around the campfire and telling stories before you slept the night away in the middle of the woods.

FLOAT TRIP – Patchouli, amber, clove, sandalwood, smoke, saffron, whiskey, and hickory combine to stir up memories of floating down the river for hours with friends before heading back to camp.

This holiday season, don’t underestimate the power of tapping into your guy’s love for both music and tech. ULAH — the new men’s apparel and lifestyle store in Woodside Village at 47th and Rainbow — is a retailer for a coveted brand called Master & Dynamic that caters to both music and tech with a beautiful integration of form and function.

Master & Dynamic creates products who share “a focus on great design, luxury materials, amazing craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance, comfort, and sound”. Their products are designed for decades of use with the highest quality materials — and they are getting recognized for it.

Some of ULAH’s favorite features include:

16 hour battery life that could take you from New York to Hong Kong without a recharge

An extra jack (in the right ear) allows someone sitting next to you to plug their headphones into yours. Now you can binge watch those missed shows together on the plane without using one of those annoying splitters!

Stylish and masculine mobile accessories make great gifts and stocking stuffers for men. At ULAH, we have some great new mobile accessories from a brand called Native Union — whose products look more like pieces of functional art. Their assortment includes cases made of thinly sliced marble, to leather covered battery backup chargers. Tired of that charging cord that’s not quite long enough falling off of the night stand? They have a beautiful and creative solution for that, too!

Stop by ULAH and check them out in person. While you’re here, try a sample of our smokey signature drink created by J. Rieger & Co.

At ULAH, we understand that men can be really hard to shop for! So we’ve put together a gift guide — full of ideas that you can find right in our store. Stay tuned for photos and highlights over the next couple of weeks, for a more in-depth look at our products.

One of the hottest gifts for men this season is any one of the YETI coolers, now available at ULAH’s new men’s apparel and lifestyle store at Woodside Village. See what KSHB says about YETI after they put it to the test against a less expensive cooler.

Did you know that in addition to Black Friday, this weekend also includes Small Business Saturday! ULAH is proud to include over a dozen local collaborations in their products and services. Whether it’s a gift for a man in your life, or you just want to treat yourself — you’ll feel good knowing that the dollars you spend at ULAH are also supporting local makers and artists.
